August, a cynical young New Yorker, develops a crush on Jane, a charming woman she keeps meeting on the subway, until she realizes Jane is displaced in time, stuck on the Q train since the 1970s. To save her, August must fall in love and solve a mystery. Casey McQuiston's queer romance was a...

August has moved to New York determined to believe in nothing, least of all love - and then she keeps meeting Jane, an impossibly cool, leather-jacketed woman on her morning subway, and starts to fall. Casey McQuiston's follow-up to Red, White & Royal Blue complicates that meet-cute with a genuinely inventive hook: Jane is literally out of time, somehow stranded on the Q train since the 1970s, and rescuing her will require August to solve a temporal mystery while falling for a woman she can only meet underground. It is a warm, queer, joyful romance wrapped around a light time-travel puzzle and a love letter to found family, drag brunches and the grubby magic of New York. McQuiston writes swoony romance and chosen-family camaraderie with equal charm, and the emotional stakes land. For readers who want a feel-good sapphic love story with a speculative twist and a whole-hearted belief in connection, it is a bestselling delight - clever, sexy and full of heart.
